Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services (KAMS)

For tens of thousands of years, Kimberley Aboriginal people have provided healing and care among their communities. Building on the legacy of our those who came before us, Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Services (KAMS) was established in 1986. Since then, we have grown significantly while steadfastly maintaining our vision and purpose: Our Vision: All Kimberley Aboriginal people are empowered to be strong, healthy, and connected through Aboriginal community-controlled services. Our Purpose: To deliver holistic health and wellbeing outcomes for Kimberley Aboriginal people in partnership with Aboriginal-led organisations, centred around Aboriginal Culture and knowledge. KAMS is a member-based, regional Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service. We support and represent the interests of independent Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations throughout the Kimberley region. As a regional leader, we offer a comprehensive range of support services to our members, including communications, research, clinical governance, finance and accounting, corporate services, human resources, information technology, and training and education. In addition to supporting our Member Services, we provide a variety of health and wellbeing programs. These include comprehensive primary health care, disability and allied health services, mental health and social and emotional wellbeing programs, renal health care, population health initiatives, and research activities. We adhere to the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service Model of Care as developed by the Aboriginal Health Council of WA, ensuring our services meet the holistic needs of the communities we serve.
